other Southern State, where their condition,
as regards civil and political rights, Is just
the same. There is colored migration
among the colored people of the South, but
il is from the country, where their LABOR Is
needed, to the cities and towns, where it Is
not. The colored people are gregarlous'
and, as general rule, i'nprovident; they
therefore, and not unnaturally, prefer the
idleness and excitement Of city life to hard
work and comparative solitude in the coun-
try. They are also easily deceived, and
when they move from one rural part OF the
country to another, it is usually because
thew have been duped into doing so by par
ties who profit by selling them railroad
tickets to printed palatial homes in printed
paradises, and not because their rights are
denied them in their present real homes,
where, as ordained from the beginning OF
the world, they have to earn their bread by
the sweat of their faces.

ALL MEN we'll informed upon tariff sub
iects agree that theoretically, at least, Tree
trade should give the greatest good TO the
greatest number and they know that with
hardly an exception all the college profes
sors of political economy, and ali the most
thoughtful and disnterested men who have
learned wisdom from those professors, are also
free traders The protectlonists, however,
saw that though free trade works satistac
torily 10 theory, aud can be logically su5'
tanned, when reduced to practice, instead OF
being beneficial, it proves to be injurious,
not only 10 manufacturers and the hands
thew employ, but also to the. whole body OF
the people. and that its opposite, high
duty, is the great benefactor of the country.
But if the practice of free trade has resulted
favorabiy, as all intelligent men are aware
it has, as we'll in new Australia as IN OLD
England, in the new as in the old World
whv il shouldn't do so iu this country can
not be satisfactorily explained. The history
of this country shows that its people were
more happy and contented during the ex'
istence of a low tariff than at any other
time, and that of other countries shows that
their peoples welfare has not been pro-
NOTED by protection. Like causes acting on
like material produce like effects, and If the
theory and practice of free trade agree IN
oil other countries, they must do likewise IN

Maryland, and he only wished the church
to let him go because his health would not
permit him to stay, and it would be wrong
to keep him. He then moved that the re

PRESENTATION TO Col. FRoBEL.-The
people of Jasper county. and the ladies es-

While in Monticello, Tuesday. they gather
ed around the Colonel, and surprised him
by presenting him with an elegant
ring. Attached to the ring is a bangle ;
on one side: in cOmmemoration of
the 3rd of June, 1887" and on the other,
&c. & M. r. R." The ladies made him
promise never TO part with it, and the Col
onel found no difficulty in making such a
promise.
The CoVington star says: ITO Col B. w.
Frohel they ascribe all the honor of the
road, and very truthfully and justly, too, do
they give him the full credit and praise.
There is no doubt but the success and COM
pletion of the road to Monticello is due en-
tirely to him. He has had innumerable
difficulties to contend with in his work OF
building the road to that point; but he has
stood firmly at his post of duty; has over
come them all and has won the victory Of
running the Covington aud Macon cars into
Monticello, amid the shouts of praise and
the enthusiasm of the people of that place.
No grander ovation was ever accorded any
man for mis- success than that given to Col
Frobel by the people of Jasper county,
when the cars rolled into Monticello, load
ed to OVERLOOKING with their precious bur-
den of human freight. Truly the honor of
the event belonged to him, and right pro-
perly did they accord him the praise"
The GAINESVILLE Gazette says: 1.-The road
is now being pushed on to Madison, and TO
Athens. Col B. w. Frobel now occupies
the holiest sanctum in the heart. of not only
all residents of Jasper county, but in those
